Configuring remote logging on NVA FortiGates

You must set up remote logging on the NVA FortiGates, as you cannot attach local logging disks to them.

To configure remote logging on NVA FortiGates:

1. In FortiManager, go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > System Templates.
2. Create a new template or edit an existing template for logging.
3. From the Toggle Widgets dropdown list, select Log Settings.

   

4. Select the desired logging destination. This example selects the FortiManager as the logging destination.

   If using FortiManager as a remote logging destination, enable System Settings > Dashboard > FortiAnalyzer Features.

   For information on remote logging via FortiManager, see System Templates.

5. Enable Reliable Logging to FortiAnalyzer.

   Ensure to enable this option before applying the changes to the template.

6. Select the required logging parameters, then click Apply.

   

   This example shows logging to a local FortiManager. To use this feature, enable System Settings > System Information > FortiAnalyzer Features.

7. Assign the template to the NVA FortiGates:
   1. On the System Templates page, select the new logging template, then click Assign to Device/Group.

      

   2. In the Assign to Devices/Groups dialog, select the NVA FortiGates, then click OK.

      

8. Install device settings:
   1. From Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > System Templates, click Install Wizard.
   2. Install device settings only.
   3. Select the devices to log remotely, then click Next > Install.
9. After FortiManager installs device settings to the FortiGate instances, device logs populate on the selected logging destination. To generate logs for verification, go to the NVA FortiGate CLI from FortiManager and run diagnose log test. In the example, you can find logs in FortiManager in Log View > Traffic.
